Heroin vs. Prescription Opioids

Heroin was created in the late 1800’s as what was thought to be a “safer” alternative to morphine. However, the molecular structures of heroin and prescription opioids are so similar that your brain cannot tell the difference between the two. What can tell the difference? Your wallet. Prescription opioids can be $80 or more on the street, while heroin may be as low as $10.
